Toast Titanium 10 and/or Handbrake?

Over a year later and still trying to stop using my PC programs and learn how to achieve the same result using my mac. I want to make files that I can put in iTunes to load onto my iPod Touch and iPhone 4 from dvd movies I own. I have read lots of posts here and I am still confused. Can I do this using Toast Titanium 10 alone, or do I have to use Handbrake and VLC?
Hopefully someone can help me with this? Thanks.

Handbrake is what you need. Hands down the best, and with built in presets for iPod/iPhone you can't go wrong.
Toast would be required only to burn to disc.

btw: we cant tell you how to rip copyrighted movies on here. but heres a tip,
Google is the cleverest guy i know, and he knows almost everything.

again Kev, i always seem to plus one everything you suggest. handbrake is the best tool, really gives you a lot of control.

It's one of my favorite and most used pieces of software, I'm amazed it's still free, I'd happily pay for it.
And yes, I gave benefit of doubt to the OP, but of course, we can't discuss piracy (if that's the intention )

Ill 2nd and 3rd this. And a alternative to toast for burning try Burn to keep it in the free family. Does good watchable copies

Cheers

I prefer Video Monkey to Handbrake.

Not heard of it, just looked. May be interesting, so will give it a look. Lets see how advanced it's x264 settings are.
Thanks.

I had no intention to make an illegal copy. Just copy a movie I bought on dvd into ipod format to put on my iphone. If that is illegal then I will never discuss it again. Please advise, as there was no ill intention here.

That is illegal. You should read this:
Mac-Forums.com - Announcements in Forum : Movies and Video

The problem lies in that the illegal part is circumventing copy protection, something that isn't avoidable when doing this.
It's kind of silly if you compare it to CD's for example, but those are the rules.
No one is saying it can't be done, and we have pointed you in the direction you need, it's just that we can't be specific.
I'm quite sure you had no ill intention at all.

whats stupid is it isnt illegal to have a backup. its how you get your backup which is illegal!
